De Bortoli AUS Estate Reserve Shiraz 2023

Deep crimson with purple edges, this Shiraz shows lifted aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, accented by hints of violet, pepper, and sweet spice. The palate is generous yet balanced, with ripe black fruit supported by supple tannins and a smooth, velvety texture. Subtle notes of cocoa, vanilla, and savoury spice add complexity, leading to a long, warming finish that highlights both richness and freshness.

Founded in 1928, De Bortoli is one of Australia’s most enduring family-owned wineries, now led by its third generation. The AUS Estate Reserve range celebrates classic Australian varietals, sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites that express both varietal purity and regional character. Shiraz is Australia’s signature red grape, and this bottling reflects the estate’s philosophy of approachable, fruit-driven wines with enough structure and finesse to elevate them beyond the everyday.
